Life On A Star (LOAS) conferences take place each August on beautiful Star Island, part of the Isles of Shoals, seven miles off the coast of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Affiliated with the Star Island Corporation, LOAS hosts two weeklong, multigenerational conferences—Life On A Star 1 and 2.

People of all ages, lifestyles, and beliefs are invited to spend a week—or even a few nights—engaged in meaningful programming, island traditions, and time to rest and renew. Each conference weaves together theme talks, workshops, worship, and evening programs balanced with opportunities to make music and art, connect with friends old and new, and relax and unwind while enjoying the island’s natural beauty.

With vibrant children’s and youth programs, volunteer leadership, and a strong sense of community, LOAS offers a rare chance to step away from everyday life and reconnect—with yourself, others, and the spirit of Star Island.

Life On A Star is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Rooted in the Unitarian Universalist tradition, LOAS warmly welcomes participants of all religious backgrounds and beliefs.
